Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 1076 Corner of Mouth

The weekend sun filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled shadows on the floor. Lin Xiaocha stood at the kitchen doorway of Xu Yang's house and took a deep breath. The floral dress she had carefully chosen swayed gently with her breath, complementing her white sneakers. She looked down, feeling as beautiful as a meticulously painted painting. But when her eyes fell on Xu Yang, standing not far away, her carefully cultivated feminine aura instantly crumbled. Xu Yang was wearing a simple gray home jacket, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his sturdy arms. What made Lin Xiaocha laugh the most was the apron he was wearing. The words "Kitchen Killer" were emblazoned in bold yellow lettering on the dark blue fabric, creating a stark contrast to his usual clean and tidy image. The contrast was so endearing that it made her heart skip a beat. She instinctively pulled out her phone, wanting to capture this amusing moment. Her finger tapped the screen, intending to quietly press the shutter, but her hand shook and she accidentally hit the flash. A loud "click" sounded, abrupt in the silent kitchen. Xu Yang turned around, a half-smile on his lips, his eyes inquiring. "What are you filming?" Lin Xiaocha panicked, fumbling and hastily hiding her phone behind her back, her cheeks flushing crimson. She lowered her head, stammering, unable to speak. She wasn't paying attention, and as she stepped back, she accidentally bumped into the spice rack behind her. "Clatter!" The bottles and jars on the spice rack clattered together, and one of the pepper jars fell to the ground with a "clatter," the lid bursting open, and white powder instantly filled the kitchen like smoke. The pungent smell of pepper rushed into their noses, and Lin Xiaocha and Xu Yang both burst into coughing fits. "Cough, cough, cough..." Lin Xiaocha coughed until tears were about to come out. She was still trying to make amends, but she saw the pepper powder on the ground, and in a fit of rage, she raised her foot to wipe it off with her slippers. The more he scrubbed, the worse it got. The white powder, carried everywhere by his slippers, spread everywhere. What had started as a small mess quickly became a vast expanse. Suppressing a cough, Xu Yang hurried over to turn on the range hood. The machine hummed, diligently sucking the peppery smell from the air. He turned around and saw Lin Xiaocha still struggling with the powder on the floor. Reluctantly, he walked over and grasped her wrist. "Don't move. Let me do it." His palm was warm and dry, and the warmth it transmitted made Lin Xiaocha's heart skip a beat. Her already frantic heartbeat suddenly lost its rhythm, thumping like a drum. She froze in place, watching Xu Yang bend down to grab a rag and meticulously clean up the mess. Sunlight filtered through the kitchen window, casting a soft golden hue on the ends of his hair, and his profile was exceptionally clear in the light and shadow. In that moment, Lin Xiaocha suddenly felt that this scene was more moving than any idol drama she had ever seen. As the peppery smell gradually dissipated, the kitchen finally returned to peace. Xu Yang tossed the rags he had gathered into the washtub, then turned to Lin Xiaocha and said, "Let's get cooking. What do you want to make?" Lin Xiaocha finally came to her senses, gathered herself, and tried to regain some confidence. "I... I can scramble eggs and cook noodles. How about we have scrambled eggs with tomatoes and noodles today?" Xu Yang smiled and nodded. "Okay, that's up to you." Lin Xiaocha rolled up her sleeves and confidently walked to the stove. She first took an egg from the refrigerator and carefully tapped it against the edge of the bowl. With a snap, the eggshell cracked. Her hand trembled, and the egg white and yolk fell into the bowl, but a small piece of eggshell also slipped in. Frowning, she used chopsticks to pick up the eggshell, trying several times before she succeeded. Then she picked up the chopsticks and began to stir the egg rapidly. The egg liquid swirled in the bowl. The lights of the carousel flickered on Lin Xiaocha's face, the flickering light framing her slightly flushed cheeks. She sat on a richly decorated wooden horse, her hands tightly gripping the handrails in front of her, but her eyes involuntarily drifted to Xu Yang, who was sitting on the horse opposite. The evening breeze gently blew the strands of hair on his forehead, revealing his smooth forehead. The light cast varying shades of light on his face, making his already handsome features even more three-dimensional. Lin Xiaocha looked at the faint smile on the corner of his mouth and suddenly felt a little unreal, as if she was in a beautiful dream. Today was the weekend, the sun was particularly bright, and the sky was as blue as a carefully polished sapphire. In the morning, she was still curled up in bed, browsing her phone, when she received a message from Xu Yang, asking if she wanted to go to the amusement park together. The moment she saw the message, Lin Xiaocha almost jumped out of bed, her finger hesitating on the screen for a long time before replying with a "Okay". She rummaged through the drawers to find clothes and finally chose a pair of newly bought denim overalls. The overalls were light blue with some whitened design on the legs, which looked casual and playful. She turned around in front of the mirror several times, and felt that she looked fresh and cute, and she felt very happy. Before going out, she passed by the convenience store at the entrance of the community and saw that it was for sale. The pink and tender color was like the clouds in the sky, which made her unable to move her feet instantly. She bought the biggest one, thinking of eating it while playing in the amusement park. But when she got to the entrance of the amusement park, she remembered that she might have to go through security to enter the park, and she might not be allowed to bring it in. Lin Xiaocha's eyes rolled, and an idea came to her. She looked at the big pocket of her overalls, stuffed the bag in without hesitation, and patted the pocket to make sure it would not fall out. After doing all this, she shook her head proudly, thinking that she was so smart. But she had planned everything, but she didn't expect it to melt. As soon as she got to the security check, the security personnel noticed her bulging pockets and motioned her to take it out for inspection. Lin Xiaocha took it out of her pocket with great hesitation, and was stunned instantly - the fluffy stuff had melted for more than half, sticking to her pocket, and even her fingers were covered with pink candy stains. "Look at you." Xu Yang walked to her side at some point, and his laughter was particularly harsh in the wind and rain, "In order to monopolize the elixir of life, they have long wanted to kill me. I just took the initiative." Lin Lan was stunned. This was completely different from what Jiang Mingyuan said. Who is lying? "I still nodded with gritted teeth: "Okay." While waiting in line, Lin Xiaocha's heartbeat began to accelerate. She watched the roller coaster whizzing past her head again and again, listening to the screams of the people on it,
